26 candidates want your
vote in SU elections

by Sheila Soder

Coming soon to a campus near you are the
Students’ Union Executive elections—nominations
for candidates closed yesterday at 5 p.m.

“This is a very healthy number of candidates
for an election,” said an enthusiastic Kyle Kasawski,
the election’s chief returning officer. “It takes a lot
of gonads to put yourself on the line for two weeks,
as well as all of the prep time before that. If you get
elected, you deserve it.”

There are a total of 26 candidates for six
positions. Campaigning begins Monday, March 3,
at 6 p.m. Advanced polling is on Tuesday, March 11
in SUB, with the majority of students going to the
polls March 12 and 13. While there was speculation
about students using the OneCard to access
electronic voting lists for the first time, voters will
receive the traditional hole-punch in the cards
instead.

Students will also be asked to vote in a
referendum regarding a student health plan on the
same ballot. Paraphrased, the question to be asked
is “for a fee of not to exceed $89 [per student per
year], would students accept a health plan,” said
Kasawski. “It’s an opt-out plan where students need
to prove that they are covered by another health plan
[to have their money refunded].”

Kasawski also said that although students had
the opportunity to run campaigns on both sides of
the issue, only a Yes slate has been formed.

“Nobody came to the info session,” said
Kasawski. “ [Wednesday] a Yes side was formed.”

University of Alberta students were asked to
vote in a similar referendum last spring but the
results were dismissed. “The information campaign
[which accompanied the referendum] was deemed
biased and subjective—it was viewed that there was
no way that students could fairly make a decision,”
said Kasawski.

Candidates:

President: Stephen Curran, Hoops Harrison,
Kris the Masturbation Man, David Losey, James
McLeod, Space Moose

VP Academic: Andrea Crawford, Sheamus
Murphy

VP External: Q Kyliuk, James Lee, Nicole

University
grants same-
sex benefits

by Sarah E. Kelly

The University of Alberta is finally catching up
with the rest of the country. The Board of Governors’
recent decision to grant same-sex spousal benefits for
its employees has pleased staff and students.

“The U of A is not in a leadership role for this
issue,” said Office of Human Rights directer Fran
Trehearne. “There’s certainly not a major research-
intensive university in Canada that wasn’t already
providing this.”

The benefits for homosexual employees will now
almost match those of heterosexual couples. Same-
sex couples will be offered a pension plan,
supplementary health care (including presriptions
and dental care) and an optional life insurance plan.

Lotsa iron rings

by Chris Miller

Campus geers are gearing up for
National Engineering Week and hope
to put a human face on an area
sometimes thought of as little more
than formulas and theories.

“We want to promote the idea
that we graduate into a profession
that has implications in the real
world,” said Gene Kushnir, a fifth-
year mechanical engineering student
and chair of the U of A’s National
Engineering Week committee.

To get the message out,
engineering students will be setting
up displays around campus between
March 1 and 8. Kushnir also said they
will be visiting their former high
schools to talk directly students,
where they can offer first-hand
experience to potential new geers.
“High school students are gong to
have to make their decision within

the next three months as to what they
want to go into in university.

“What we want to do is pass
along to students our experience from
engineering.”

He added students should also be
aware of scholarships and
engineering transfer programs from
local community colleges. “They can
actually accomplish their first year in
the community colleges if they
couldn’t get in here.”

Engineering students will also
have the chance to talk to high school
students at the Science Olympics this
Saturday at the Edmonton
Convention Centre, where
engineering students will act as
judges.

Activities here at the U of A will
feature technical displays in SUB on
Monday, and a technical lecture that
evening by the engineering firm

“The U of A is not in a leadership role for
this issue ... there’s certainly not a major
research-intensive university in Canada that
wasn’t already providing this.”

—Office of Human Rights Director Fran
Trehearne

However, Alberta Health Care will not be offered.
“The province of Alberta controls that,” said
Trehearne, “and they define [Alberta Health Care] as
only available to a spouse, and a spouse is a person of
the opposite sex.”

While Trehearne cites “internal pressure” as one
of the reasons that the BoG came to this decision, he
also suggests that a motive for implementing these
benefits was “competitiveness for top people.” He
added that “we have a number of very capable faculty
and staff who have served the university for a very
long time who are gay or lesbian who, quite properly,
were saying [...] ‘there’s an inequity here.’”

The issue of same-sex benefits was first raised in
1990 when both students and staff complained about
the discrepancy between benefits for heterosexual and
homosexual staff members. People began to notice
that sexual orientation was playing a role in salary.
However, at the time, the provincial laws made any
action toward remedying the situation impossible. “In
about 1992 or 1993 the law had changed sufficiently
that a fair number of benefits could be made
available,” said Trehearne. The Presidents’
Commission for Equality and Respect was notified
and finally, action was taken.

The Alberta provincial government is one of only
two provincial governments which does not list sexual
orientation as a protected ground. The other is Prince
Edward Island. “That's a big issue,” said Trehearne,
“and it’s going to the Supreme Court of Canada.”

Trahearne said that same-sex couples receiving
what benefits they can under prea law is “a bit
of a non-issue, except to say that we're finally there.”

Relationships

The basic ingredient for any
relationship is trust. That includes
the freedom to be yourself and
allow your friend or partner to be
his or herself. Another important
aspect is respect. While everyone
understands that chemistry is
necessary for any relationship, it is
not enough by itself for a true
friendship to form.

Something we can all do is think
about what we look for in
relationships and reflect on the key
elements of our established
relationships. Do we claim to search
for trust, yet consistently have
partners who cheat? Do we think
having things in common is
important in a relationship but
choose partners who doesn’t share
our values? We may be able to learn
more about ourselves, our
behaviour, and our relationships
this way.

Love Doesn't Hurt

Would you know if you were
being abused in a relationship? If
your partner didn’t hit you, could
s/he still be abusive toward you?
Yes.

Abuse can be emotional, verbal,
spiritual, economic, sexual, and
physical. Are you being treated as a
whole person or are you held
responsible for everything that goes
wrong? Often, abuse can start off
subtly.

Leaving an abusive relationship

can feel difficult and complicated,
but there are resources available to
help. If you know someone who is
involved in an abusive relationship,
the best thing you can do is offer
support and stand by your friend.
Victims of abuse often need time to
decide what to do. If they are made
to feel inadequate for not leaving the
relationship immediately, their
response may be to stop reaching
out for help.

After a breakup

At Student Help, we often see
people who have recently broken off
a relationship. If you've lost an
important relationship, chances are
it will be painful for a long time.
That’s completely normal.

Experts state that a year is the
minimum time it takes to heal from
the loss of a long term relationship.
It’s been said that it takes seven
years to fully recover from a long-
term relationship. That’s not to say
that you have to spend the next
seven years weeping, but do give
yourself plenty of time to heal.

Feelings of betrayal and self-
blame for not getting over the loss
fast enough are common. Anger,
sadness, fear, blame, and feelings of
abandonment and hopelessness are
all normal after the loss of a
relationship.

Blaming yourself and placing
high expectations for recovery on
yourself are also common, but

What helps?

Talking to someone you trust
can help. It could be a friend, a
relative or a counsellor. Some people
find keeping a journal quite healing.
You can write down all your
feelings without worrying about
being judged or interrogated about
them. Keeping a top ten list of things
you can do when you feel really
down can help. Another useful
tactic is to write downa list of things
you like about yourself and keep it
accessible.

To help a friend over

a breakup

Helping your friend means
being a good listener. This is not the
time for advice or I-told-you-so’s,
nor is it the time to jump on the
bandwagon and say everything you
hated about your friend’s ex-
partner. Listen with an open heart
as well as an open ear. You're not
being asked to solve the problem or
choose a side.

Members of the University of
Alberta Debate Society are firing up
their brains for the McGoun Cup
tournament that will be held in
Calgary this weekend.

This year the tournament is
being hosted by the University of
Calgary and will be attended by
over 40 teams from schools
throughout western Canada. The U
of A is sending eight teams to the
three day event, which is one of four
national tournaments held
throughout the country.

Debate Society president Grant
Yiu says “We hope to present the
best arguments in the best ways
possible. That’s what we have to do.
That’s what we train our people to
do.”

The McGoun Cup debates are
held in Impromptu Parliamentary
style, which means that the teams
are assigned a topic and given only
15 minutes to prepare their
arguments.
Participants

from the

WZA\ Talking it to Calgary

University of Alberta are required
to provide their own transportation,
registration fees and accomodation
for the tournament, whereas a
number of teams from other schools
are subsidized for participation in
national tournaments.

The U of A Debate Society last
took the championship home with
them in 1995 from Saskatchewan.
The Cup was hosted on our campus
last year, and U of A teams took both
third and fourth places. As for
aspirations of success this time, Yiu
explains, “We have one of the
strongest societies in western
Canada ... I’m very confident that
we will represent not only the U of
A Debate Society, but also the U of
A as a whole very well.”

The Society has 65 members,
and offers its members no formal
training. The aim is to “teach
[members] to speak coherently and
teach them to think on their feet ...
to be able to think and act instead
of just listening and following”, said
vice president, Aly Kanji.

Tripping at the Timms’ Centre

by Mark Barker

Is the Timms’ Centre safe for
drama students? A letter to the
Gateway related a situation during
a performance of School for Scandal
where one of the flies (a piece of
scenery that is lowered onstage by
a rope) went the wrong way. No
one was injured. In fact, no one at
the Timms’ Centre has ever been
injured in any similar incident.

All major theatres have a safety
supervisor on staff to deal with
safety concerns and act as
insurance against these types of
accidents.

The letter raised the concern
that there was no safety supervisor
on stage at the time. According to
the Drama Department Chair,
David Barnet, “there was, in a

manner of speaking”.

A professional stage manager
hired by the Timms’ Centre was
supervising the play from the
audience and saw the entire
incident. The manager was
connected by headset to the entire
technical crew and aware of the
embarrassment to the production
as well as the danger it presented.
The manager alerted the operator
of the problem.

A follow up report stated that
the fly did go in when it was
supposed to go out. However,
Barnet pointed out that there was
no loss of control: it was a simple
mistake and the wrong rope was
pulled the wrong way by the
student operating the flies. “These
things happen,” said Barnet. “We

a

had a supervisor who watched the
student for seven runs ... when the
incident occurred ... we called him
back in immediately.”

The decision to allow the
student to operate the equipment
was made by the safety supervisor.
The Timms’ Centre uses a team
support system instead of having
a full time safety monitor on site
for all productions.

Timms’ Centre staff are serious
about the safety of their backstage
operations. “We will not take from
or cut from education [and safety]
for our students,” were Barnet’s
final comments. “It’s all part and
parcel of being an actor ... You |
actually have more risk of falling
off the stage than being injured by
anything like this.”

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you should
find out more about opportunities in Chemical and Materials
Engineering.

Chemical Engineers design the complex plants that convert raw
materials into a range of products from petrochemicals, to
fertilizers, to a wide array of polymers. They oversee the building
of these plants and are involved in their running and maintenance.
Companies employing chemical engineers range from large
corporations like Dow and Syncrude to small consulting firms
dealing with specialized issues like environmental protection
or specialized petrochemicals.

Materials Engineering is a program which bridges the gap
between science and engineering and offers a wide range of
career opportunities from basic research to applied engineering.
Companies employing materials engineers range from those
dealing primarily with metals or polymers like Alcan Aluminum
or Inco or Nova, to smaller companies in the service industries
dealing with materials selection and materials performance in
service.

Both programs offer a co-operative education stream so that
you can acquire valuable work experience and pay your own
way.

It is time for each of us to work at mak-
ing the best possible life for ourselves and
everyone else in this province of ours. I
am speaking about the upcoming provin-
cial election. If we work together as a prov-
ince, we have the power to change the
course of our future.

I want to stress that Jam not a member
of any political party and do not propose
that any one party is the best one to sup-
port. Instead, I believe in quality health
care, quality education and protection for
our environment.

Secondly, I believe in quality education
for both children and adults in programs
that are properly funded with modern
equipment and smaller class sizes. Lastly,
I want a government that encourages fur-
ther development of our economy while
protecting the environment from damage

due to excessive development.

In our present provincial govern-
ment, the issue of ecomonic develop-
ment has been stressed to such an ex-
tent that health care, education and the
environment have been either harmed
immensely or completely ignored. Our
province is one of the wealthiest in the
country and yet spends either the low-
est or second lowest amounts each year
on both healthcare and education. In
addition, this same government has
threatened to privatize our provincial
parks.

It seems that the only viable alter-
native governments would be either
Liberal or New Democrat. However, I
feel that a New Democrat government
would not support the economy of our
province sufficiently due to their policy
of higher taxation than any of the other

PaNe

o>

political parties. At the same time,
the typically moderate taxation
policies of a Liberal government
would still allow for moderate
growth in our economy and would
support our private sector suffi-
ciently. In addition, it is my under-
standing that the New Democrats
presently have representives from
their party in only about one-half
of the constituencies in the province
so complete representation from
the NDP seems quite unlikely.

On election day, I ask that you
join me in supporting the Alberta
Liberal party because we must
present a united effort at the poles
in order to make a difference.

The ongoing controversy over
video lottery terminals brings up an
interesting issue that provincial
politicians must address. This, of
course, is whether the government
has a responsibility to protect citi-
zens from pursuing activities which
are potentially damaging to them-
selves and their families.

Most people have at least some
familiarity with the local petitions
and the pressure that the opposition
is placing on the ruling Conserva-
tive government to outlaw the ma-
chines in this province. Most peo-
ple will also be familiar with some
of the sob stories promoted by the
opponents—the families who go
hungry because the VLT addicted
mother or father blows all their
money on gambling.

VLT opponents contend that
outlawing the machines altogether
is the best way of solving the prob-
lem. If the tools of gambling are
taken away, then it will be impossi-
ble for someone to squander away
their family’s grocery money, and

hence their families will become
bastions of unadulterated happi-
ness.

There is, however, a fundamen-
tal problem with this kind of action:
the fact that it totally disregards both

the rights of the O[- sgesmmmsaenenssmmsssennenny ssn ers SSIES ESTE
Outlawing VLTs would mean sacrificing
personal responsibility for one’s actions

and thus the freedom to make the errors in

erators to profit
from something
that is in demand,
and the rights of in-
dividuals to engage
in activities which

some of which are serious. When
you were a kid your mom told you
not to put your hand on the hot plate
because you would burn yourself.
However, mom’s advice did not
have any real meaning until you

the first place.

they enjoy—even if
such activities may inflict harm on
themselves.

Now, I realize that words like
‘freedom’ and ‘personal responsibil-
ity’ are slowly going out of fashion,
and are being replaced by chic new
catch phrases such as ‘government
regulation’. Freedom requires per-
sonal responsibility, and the erosion
of personal responsibility runs par-
allel with the erosion of freedom.
Outlawing VLTs would mean sac-
rificing personal responsibility for
one’s actions and thus the freedom
to make the errors in the first place.

If you think about it for a sec-
ond, it is apparent that most of the
important and meaningful lessons
in life came from making errors,

actually did it and suffered the con-
sequences. While no one could say
that having people addicted to VLTs
is actually a good thing in the my-
opic sense that the Liberals and anti-

FREE THE WLI

VLT activists are describing, it is

good in the sense that the people

who are addicted are exercising

their right to liberty and will even-

tually learn from their mistakes. The

apparent benefits of banning VLTs
are greatly outweighed by the ero-
sion of personal liberty it would
further.

This situation does not involve
‘solving a problem’ but instead
maintaining a system that pro-
motes creativity, individualism,
and personal responsibility. The

anti-VLT lobby would rather have
the government dictate people's
thinking to them. To allude back to
my hot stove metaphor, how many
creative people do you know whose

Opinion

mom would never let them make a
mistake, but instead coddled him
under the safe warmth of her breast,
never letting him do anything but
things that are proven safe?
Human perfectablity, if it is to
exist, will never emerge from regu-
lations place on individual lives
imposed from the government
down. This will create a society of
snivelling little Momma’s boys. Hu-
man beings improve themselves by
taking chances, making errors, and
taking responsibility for the conse-
quences. To ban VLTs would put
another nail in the coffin of freedom
that has already been hammered in
by power-hungry governments.

Ox, you’re in an accounting or business program already. Great. But then what?

To get ahead in today’s business world, you need more than technical knowledge: you also

need solid management, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Consider becoming a CMA, a Certified Management Accountant. You'll develop these and

other success-making skills in the two-year CMA Professional Program, and you can keep on

~ This Tesdag I and a few hundred other
fans were lucky enough to witness one of the
best concerts of the year so far. After being
absent from our fine city for 14 months, Our
Lady Peace returned with a vengeance, and
brought along a whole bunch of new songs
from their latest album, Clumsy.

As we mounted the stairs up to
Dinwoodie, I was surprised to hear that the
first band had already started, as it was only
8:15. After quickly checking our coats we
rushed inside to catch as much of the set as
possible. I was pleased to find out that Our
Lady Peace had brought along Change of
Heart for the tour, and that] had only missed
a couple of songs. The whole set was quite
good, and a small mosh pit kept building in
front of the stage as more and more people
filtered in. The four guys from Ontario kept a
steady pace, building the crowd up for OLP. I
was particularly impressed by the large
amount of variation in the songs, starting slow
and gentle, with psychadelic sound effects
echoing in the background, and steadily

building up and suddenly crashing in with
the guitars. I had mixed feelings about the use
of the keyboards and mixer; they really added
to the slower songs, but for the faster ones
only served as annoying background noise.
It was obvious which band everyone had
come to see though, with most people mill-
ing about, and a few assholes even throwing
stuff around and shouting at the band. I can
only feel sorry for these people, they missed
out on a really great and totally underesti-
mated opening band.

At around 9:30, the lights dimmed once
again, and people swarmed to the front of the
stage. You could feel the energy rushing
through the air, everyone holding their breath
just to get a glimpse of the band. We were
forced to wait even longer, as the lights stayed
dim and the elusive silhouettes on the stage
slowly and rhythmically poured through
“Car Crash” in near darkness. Finally when
the lights came up all the energy was released
all at once, and the crowd exploded into a
swirling mass of bodies. It was impossible not
to be captivated by the electricity in the air,
and I found myself plunging headlong into
the heated mosh pit to revel in the sheer ec-
stasy of the musical experience. Every song,
whether it be the well known older ones such
as “Starseed” and “Naveed” or the latest sin-

gle, “Superman’s Dead” came out as perfectly
and powerful as the first time as you heard
them. As I sat back and enjoyed the show, I
realized that there wasn’t a single bad song,
and they played almost everything from both
albums. Raine Maida’s eyes beamed out mys-
tically, drawing you into the songs even more
deeply, while his voice fell and then rose to
levels I never thought capable of a rock singer.
The only time the smile of contentment left
my face was when Raine described his inspi-
ration for the song “Shaking,” about how he
almost blew his friends head off while play-
ing with what he thought was an unloaded
gun. I was almost sick as many people in the
crowd responded with cheers to what had
been causing him nightmares for several
months. Nightmares aside, the band kicked
back into the music, keeping all the surfers
above the chaotic mosh pit happy.

When the show finally ended, I was sur-
prised to realise that the band had played for
about and hour and a half. We were not to be
disappointed, as the band returned for a
lengthy encore, and the crowd exploded once
again. When all was said and done, we wan-
dered out of Dinwoodie as we came down
from our musical high, desperately in need

That old adage of “you can choose your
friends but you can’t choose your family” is
the apparent basis for this film, which cov-
ers everything from abuse to babysitting.
Unhook the Stars covers some heavy and
hardhitting stuff, yet still manages to
squeeze in humour and light heartedness.
It is a very effective film, well written, di-
rected and acted. Though not as flashy as
Space Jam nor as sultry as Showgirls, and it
doesn’t have the budget of Eraser, but it’s the
one you’d want to go and see.

Mildred Hawkis a widow with problems

she seems like an al-
most stereotypical, eld-

goes next door to ask

return of Monica’s husband and a crush on
Mildred by Big Tommy (Gerrard Depardieu)
throw a wrench into the mix and add real
personality and uniqueness to the film.

The one problem is in the amount that
is covered. Director Cassavetes seems a lit-
tle too concerned with substance and does
not do justice to some of the hard hitters he
flings into the film. His look into alcoholism
is distracting at best, and the family relation-
ships with Mildred, though effective, seem
underplayed in some scenes.

In the end though, it all works out, and
everybody’s happy, though Big Tommy dis-
appears into nothing and the story book hap-
pily ever after-ness of the movie left me a
little unfulfilled.

SLEEPING BEAUTY IS MAGIC IN MOTION

very end, I was en-
tranced with rich cos-
tumes, beautiful staging
and a cast of lively char-
acters. The story of the
Beauty was easily redis-
covered through the
eyes of John Meehan,
RWB’s choreographer
and Andre Lewis, the
artistic director, and
brought to life by the
whole of the company’s
dancers.

It is pure magic to
see poised, graceful bod-
ies sweeping over the
stage carefully arranged
in different and pleasing
patterns. Add to it clas-
sical music by Pyotr
Tchaikovsky and confi-
dent stage presence and
the fairy tale becomes
magnificent magic. The
princess Aurora, a sweet,
willowy prima ballerina
was danced by Evelyn
Hart. Slow but sure, the
princess captivated her

Evelyn Hart and Olivier Wevers—dance fever!

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Sleeping
Beauty is a classic, full of heart and artistic
exquisitness, right down to your pointed toes.

From the first rise of the curtain to the

suitors, and ultimately
her noble prince (played
well by Zhang Wei-Qiang). Twarting these
two lovers was home grown John Kaminski,
the evil Fairy Carabosse, bringing tyrannical
and exuberant action to the stage.

A classical ballet includes dance repeti-
tion, giving the audience an opportunity to
catch all the movements. With a good dose of
jétes and pirouettes, the RWB keeps on enter-
taining audiences with professionalism and
dedication, most notably in the well timed

Hyde seem to surpass gravity, as Caroline
Gruber, the good fairy, captures our hearts.
Visually, the stage changes from a rich castle
to an enchanted forest were a treat to see, and
was especially enhanced with perfectly de-
signed costumes.

The Sleeping Beauty is first and foremost a
classical ballet, seducing people to enjoy swift

but soft movements that bow to an ideal of
perfection in the name of something beauti-
ful. For 145 minutes, the RWB portrayed both
independent and ensemble sparkle. A love of
strong muscle, long, soft body lines, and seem-
ingly effortless lifts and turns makes the bal-
let a memorable experience.

NOT YOUR NORMAL NOIR

(FILM
ree

directed by David back
tarring Bill Pullman and Patricia Arqu

Lost Highway is a trip only David Lynch
would or could take you on. It is a dark, dis-
turbing and thoroughly wonderful film,
which once again proves Lynch is the undis-
puted master of the inde-
pendent film genre. After
a long hiatus he has re-
turned with a movie
which should be widely
hailed by those unafflicted
with Star Wars fever.

Lost Highway begins
and ends with the phrase
“Dick Laurent is dead.”
This is told to Fred (Bill
Pullman) in the opening
tale, who is ajazz musician
married to Renee (Patricia
Arquette), whom he believes is cheating on
him. To complicate their lives, they begin to
receive videotapes on their doorstep. Every-
day the tapes get longer. The first tape shows
only a pan of the outside of their house; the
second has the person coming into the house;
the third has the person standing over their
sleeping forms. At a party Fred meets the
friend of Dick Laurent, the Strange Man (a
very creepy Robert Blake), who with
nothing more than a cellular phone
creates one of the spookiest scenes
ever ina movie. As the story moves
on (with things I do not wish to give
away), Fred is arrested for the mur-
der of his wife and sent to prison. It
is here that Lost Highway really
moves into Lynchland.

One morning the guards look
into Fred’s cell and it is occupied by
Pete (Balthazar Getty). As he has no
reason to be there, and me nebad yc can

explain his appearance, he is released. Pete
cannot remember what transpired that night,
and a lot of the second story is spent with his
attempting to figure out what happened. Pete
works in a garage and is the mechanic to Mr.
Eddy (Robert Loggia), who also happens to
be Dick Laurent. As the noir aspect of this
story takes over, of course the femme fatale
must be introduced. She
comes in the form of Alice,
the girlfriend of Mr. Eddy,
(also played by Patricia
Arquette), who begins a tor-
rid affair with Pete. As I said
the ending is elliptical, and
turns into the beginning of
the movie in a way which I
f will not reveal. The how
nd why of the body switch
i between Fred and Pete and
whether or not Renee and
Alice are the same person
are left to the viewer to mull over, and it is
this type of mystery which typifies a Lynch
film.

Beyond the subject matter of Lost High-
way, it is the tempo, tone and mood which set
it apart from normal Hollywood tripe. It may
take a while to get used to the slower pace,
but it makes it more worthwhile when the
strangeness kicks in. The ominous and creepy

tone of the film is complemented by the dark
color palette of the backgrounds. The film
plays the noir style to the hilt. Everything
shimmers and shines against the opulent
colors Lynch fills his world with. All of the
clothes and sets are timeless, though vaguely
art deco styled. Again, this is a normal
Lynchian element, one of many he inserts into
Lost Highway. The other usual suspects are
here as well: there are scenes of fire, back-
wards events, red curtains, and a cameo from
a Twin Peaks actor. Also important is the sound
and music in the film, which is brilliant, es-
pecially the music of Angelo Badalamenti.
All of the performances in Highway are
good, especially Balthazar Getty as Pete, and
Robert Loggia as Mr. Eddy. The only weak
spot is Patricia Arquette. While she is great in

is fantastic as the Strange Man, playing what
could be a laughable role dead straight.

The script, by Lynch and novelist Barry
Gifford, who wrote Wild At Heart, is tight
and loose at the same time. It plays with time
and perception in a new way in films, and
leaves many explanations to the viewer’s
imagination. It is filled with many great mi-
nor characters though, and chock full of
black humour and sex. The two converging
stories are very much in Gifford’s narrative
style, and when mutated by Lynch’s bizarre
eye for detail and story twists it becomes
much more than a routine noir style movie.
It becomes a story which will dazzle and
confuse.

Bears continue playoff drive with semi-final series in Calgary

by Wade Tymchak

They have the two best |
offences in the league, they have |

the two best defences in the league,

they have the two best goaltenders
in the league, and they have the }

two best records in the league, yet
this is only the Canada West semi-
final.

more room to get away and
hide.”

Daum on how an Olympic
sized ice surface changes
a game

This weekend the University
of Alberta Golden Bears hockey

team heads down Highway 2 to ~ :

take on the University of Calgary
Dinosaurs in what is believed by
many to be the series of the year.
“Whenever you play Calgary
it’s a big series, obviously,
[between] probably two of the best
teams in western Canada if not all
of Canada,” said Bears assistant
captain Mike Thompson. “It’s
going to be a good battle, fierce.”
The series promises to display
the fire, passion, and drama of
great playoff series. The Bears are
1-2-1 against Calgary this year, but

Bring it on, boys, they’re ready
for you.

The University of Alberta
Golden Bears basketball team is
ready and waiting to take on the
University of Lethbridge
Pronghorns as Canada West
playoffs begin this weekend here
at the U of A.

“The guys finally realized
what it takes to win,” said Golden
Bears captain Jeff Collier.

Now that they know what it
takes, all they have to do is execute.

“We definitely have to
concentrate on defence. Last
weekend the key to winning was
keeping the intensity up on
defence. Tough, intensive defence,
everything starts from there,” said
U of A guard Vern Gerhardt.

Last weekend against Victoria

Jennifer Park

Bears goaltender Dale Masson and the rest of the Golden Bears stonewalled Lethbridge last weekend
and they plan to do it to Calgary this weekend.

the Bears goals for-and-against
record in those four games was 11-
14 in the Dinos favor. The regular
season was close and with the
stakes raised in the playoffs this
series will be even closer, thus
defence and goaltending will be
key.

“For us to be successful Dale
Masson has to be our best player,”

said Bears head coach Rob Daum.
“| think defensively we've got
to neutralize them, we can’t let
them fly the zone,” said Bears
goaltender Dale Masson. “They
generate a lot of offence off the rush
. we have to take away the
middle from their defencemen.”
However, playing defence will
prove difficult in Father David

clash with ’Horns

the Bears proved that they are
capable of shutting down some of
the top scorers in Canada West,
and will need to do so again as
Lethbridge’s Barnaby Craddock is
averaging 22.7 points-per-game.

“They are a pretty all-round
good team, they’ve got a lot of
weapons. We have to slow down
Barnaby Craddock, if he goes off
we've got problems,” said U of A
post Ryan Dunkley.

If the Bears come out as
strongly as they did against
Victoria last weekend, Craddock
and the ‘Horns won’t have a
chance.

“If we play like we did last
weekend there is no one in the
country who can beat us,” said
Collier.

However, Canada West is
arguably the toughest conference

in the country, and even the lower
ranked teams are good in
comparison with the rest of the
league.

“We’re not in the east, we
always have to be prepared. In any
other conference, U of L would be
one of the best teams,” Collier said.

Unfortunately for the
Pronghorns, the Golden Bears have
their eyes on the big prize, and
aren’t about to let anyone or
anything get in the way of another
national championship.

“If we lost this weekend we
would be done and that’s
motivation enough right there,”
said Dunkley.

Confident, determined, and
talented, look for the Golden Bears
to put on a great show this
weekend against the ‘Horns.

Calgary vs Alberta, Doan vs Simon

by Jon Jarvis

After finishing off their most
successful season in 20 years, the
University of Alberta Pandas
basketball team is primed,
pumped, and ready for the second
season... the playoffs.

After years of waiting for the
deep talent pool to mature, the
Pandas came into their own this
year missing the top spot in the
Canada West by a mere field
goal.

The University of Victoria is
still on top of the Canada West,
but the Pandas have struck fear

in the hearts of the long time
class of the Canada West and
finished with a respectable 15-5
record, good enough for second
place.

The Pandas now have the
benefit of playing host to the first
round of the playoffs against the
University of Calgary Dinosaurs.

“I’m really excited to play
this weekend,” said fifth-year
Panda Maeve Maguire, “because
it’s my last home game. To win
our first playoff series would be
a great way to go out.”

The Pandas are hungry to

advance, and are even more
excited to get the chance to
avenge a Dinos team that swept
them last time they met.

“When we were swept by
Calgary three weeks ago we had
just come off two relatively
relaxed series,” said Maguire,
“and our caliber of play wasn’t
where it should have been.”

The Pandas were not exactly
at their best when being swept
three weeks ago, committing an
astronomical 38 turnovers in one
of their losses. Something they
are sure won't be repeated in the

playoffs.

“We'll beat them if we take
care of the ball,” said Pandas
rookie Cathy Butlin, “our bench
is way deeper and we can run
them.”

The feature match-up of the
weekend has the two big posts
Leighann Doan of the Dinos and
Jackie Simon of the Pandas going
head to head. Doan was second
in the Canada West in scoring
with 17.1 points per game, while
Simon was third, averaging 16.6
points per game.

Pandas have a major advantage
in their depth. Any five players
head coach Trix Baker puts on the
floor can hold their own, while
Calgary has had trouble when
going past their starting five.

“We can’t just count on one
person stepping up, it has to be
a team effort,” said Butlin, “and
we shouldn’t put excess pressure
on ourselves to win. We’re better
than them and we should beat
them.”

The Pandas start their quest
for the Canada West title this
Friday at Varsity Gym.

February 25, 1997

Part of my work this year on the University Senate involved research- =
ing the job prospects of University graduates. As part of that process, I a
have gathered information from nearly 400 Canadian employers in the

public and private sectors. Summary results were printed in this space i i
several months ago. What follows is a sector-by-sector comparison

tox [OAs indian aneine Average

ontite

which, while not completely scientific or prescriptive, may give univer-

sity students examples of the types of skills they should work to de-

velop and highlight as they make the transition from school to work.

This information was solicited from employers by presenting them with
a list of skills or traits, and asking which they considered as vital or
prerequisite for employment with their firm. The employers were al- Gs
lowed to select as few or as many criteria as they wished. On all graphs,
the individual sector scores are shown in bars, while the line represents

the average scores across all sectors.

If you have any questions about this information, I can be reached days ie
at 2-900 SUB, at 492-4236 or at <vpexternal@pybus.su.ualberta.ca>.

OUTreach

A diverse group of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and the straight but

not narrow, united by our belief in equal rights for everyone.
Participate, or just sit in, on one of our meetings, dances, or
socials. We cover a range of discussion groups, political advo-
cacy, social activities, and films. OUTreach is here to encour-
age queer students in leaning more about their community and
how to make it suit their needs as well as meeting others and
having a good time doing so. Right now we are preparing for
Bisexual Gay Lesbian Awareness Days which will include
speakers, a supplement in the gateway, a dance, and our ever
popular kissing booth. The dance takes place March 15 in
RATT and is called Queers At The Top. Come on out!

We meet every Monday at 5 pm. in the Heritage Lounge of
Athabasca Hall. The last Monday of every month we watch a

movie in the Function Room, in the basement of SUB.

The Baha’i Faith i University of Alberta
Debate Society

Okay, everybody, the year is draw-

The Baha’i Faith is the newest and second
most widespread of the world’s independ-
ent religions. It was founded in Persia over
a hundred years ago by Baha’u’llah, when
He declared His mission as the spiritual suc-
cessor to the founders of the great religions
of the past. He came to reintroduce God’s
purpose for humankind for today and
brought laws and teachings to bring together
all the races, nations, and faiths in a peace-
ful and morally sound worldwide commu-
nity. Some principles which will aid in unit-

ing the world include:

-the oneness of God, of humankind,
and of religion

-the agreement of religion with
science and reason

-the equality of men and women

-the abolition of prejudice of all kinds

-universal compulsory education

-the removal of extreme poverty

and wealth

-a federal system of world government

-an international auxiliary language

-world peace based on justice

The Association for Baha’i Studies is open
to all staff and students of any religious
background who believe in these principles
and want to explore their applications in our

society.

For further information on our Campus
Association or on the Baha’i Faith, look for
our booth in SUB(Tuesdays) or e-mail us
(mderakhs@gpu-srv.ualberta.ca).

For Edmonton Baha’i Community events,
see the Saturday Religion section of the
Edmonton Journal or phone the

Baha’i Centre at 479-8770.

“ God grant that the light of unity may en-

velop the whole earth “

ing to a close, but make no mistake, it will
end, not with a whimper but with a bang.
The Debate Society will be sending seven
teams at least to the Western Canadian
Championship in Calgary (more if you
sign up!!) and three to the National Cham-
pionship at Dalhousie in Nova Scotia.

We will also be conducting two of the
three SU candidates’ forums in early
March, throwing parties, doing mock
trials, table topics, thirty-on-ones, and
much much more.

So, if you would like to come out
and meet some of the great people in this
society, there is no better time than now!!
Wednesday. 5pm. HC2-11.

See you there.

President’s Message

Welcome to the 1997 edition
of the Free Radical! My name is

UASUS - University of Alberta Sci-
ence Undergraduate Society. There,

acronym. When our past president
resigned and I

mid-November, UASUS was the
guinea pig for the ONE-card (they’re
going to get on my case for writing
it incorrectly) with by-elections.
Fag-ro Austin (uh Fadro), through
undertable bribes, picked two peo-

ending up with a black nail and Bill
beginning his anti-OSA campaign.
UASUS began its fundraising cam-
paign driven by Shaun (who took it
upon himself to visit all the brewer-
ies in Edmonton . . . do I sense an-
other motive?) to fund future events

position this
past fall, I didn’t
know what I

self into. How-
ever, it’s turned
out to be a
pretty good year
. so far. So,
you’re all won-
dering what
UASUS is and
what it does for
you? (not really,
eh?)
Well, let
me give you a

dents. Mid-Janu-
ary, we held a Sci-
ence Forum for
students interested
in different science
departments, get-
ting more informa-
tion about their
own department,
professional pro-
gram interests, or
getting more info
about jobs from
CAPS. The forum
was a success for
exposing students
to what Science
and its departments
had to offer.
Through
some swindling
and some casual-

a faculty asso-
ciation which tries to unite all Sci-
ence students (the key word here is
try) and department clubs. At the be-
ginning of the year, we held our 13th
annual SCIENCE WEEK event
which, I am proud to say, did better
than any of our past years with an
increased turnout (unlike some other
faculty association who had to can-
cel their event due to poor turnout.)
Soon after, UASUS bought some of
the old couches which used to be on
the 2nd floor of the SU building and
relocated them to the Biological Sci-
ences Building (they’re still used for
the same purpose mind you... I say

members to better serve our >5000

faculty population (that’s “greater

than” for those non-science stu-
dents).

Over Christmas, we saw the
takedown of the SANDRA BUL-

LOCK WALL, the creation of

OSASUS, and the restock of the in-
famous “Lab Partner” shirts. New
Years rolled in with Matt sticking his
finger where he shouldn’t have and

ties, we purchased
and moved lockers from the SU and
placed them in the Science study hall
in the basement of Cameron (al-
though there are more students down
there from faculties other than sci-
ence). And now, we’re up-to-date.
Whew! Enough of my blab-
bing . . that’s a wrap for this year! I
hope you enjoy this year’s edition
of the Free Radical because I know
Shaun’s been working pretty hard on
it. Good luck on all your midterms
and finals. Oh, and if you have any
questions about involvement oppor-

Thought of the Day

“Everything is produced everywhere
and does everything.”

- Dv. S. Harvey, Physiology

(in reference to the neuroimmunoendocrine roles of
all tissues and their non-traditional site production)

a

Q: Some bars in the city have these
really cool black lights that make some cloth-
ing fluoresce. But whenever I have a gin aad
tonic, my drink lights up as well. So my ques-
tion for you, Mr. Science, is how come my
drink glows under these lights? '

- Glow girl

A: Dear Glow girl: When you
were at the bar, you were witness to the im-
portant and fascinating phenomenon of fluo-
rescence, the prompt emission of longer
wavelength light when a molecule absorbs a
shorter wavelength of light. The fluorescence
emission that you observed from your “gin
and tonic” actually has to do with the tonic
water content of your drink. In tonic water is
an active ingredient called quinine, a natu-
ral product extracted from the bark of the
cinchona tree which is native to the Andean
highlands in South America. This organic
compound has a complex ring structure and
is classified as an alkaloid by organic chem-
ists. In fact, it is quinine that is responsible
for the bitter taste of tonic water. With the
subsequent addition of large amounts of
sugar and carbonation, tonic water is made

into a valued drink mix.

Furthermore, black lights emit low
intensity ultraviolet light in the 360 nm range
as well some low end visible light (this is
the violet color you see when a black light is
on!). This portion of the EM (electromag-
netic) spectrum is shorter than that of the vis-
ible light (400nm - 680nm 4 violet - red).
Therefore, the invisible UV light absorbed
by quinine molecules causes the release of
photon energy in a form visible to our eyes.
The result is the appearance of a “glowing”
blue drink.

Next time you’re at the bar, however,
try adding a couple pinches of ordinary ta-
ble salt (NaCl) to your drink (that is if you’ve
finished drinking it). When NaCl is added to
tonic water, the fluorescence emission will
be reduced. This phenomenon is called fluo-
rescence quenching and involves a chemical
interaction of the chloride ion with the elec-
tronically excited quinine molecule, thereby
reducing the efficiency of emission. Try it
and you can impress your friends with your
scientific know-how.

- Mr. Science

Q: Iftwo people are directly across
from each other on a merry-go-round or_the
roto ride at a carnival and one person throws
a ball directly across to the other person, what
happens? Does the ball travel in a straight
line, or will it curve? If the ball is thrown
directly across towards the other person, will
it pass through the center of the circle? If you
throw the ball with very little force, will it
come back to you? (If it comes back to you,
then from an outside observer’s point of view,
it must curve). What other strange things
come into play when you do this?

- Twirling and Whirling

A: Dear Twirling and Whirling:
The ball would NOT pass through the center
point. The ball would go off onan angle. The
reason that this would occur is because there
is a vector component for sideways move-
ment (perpendicular to the direction that you
throw the ball). You can see this if you swing
a rope with a weight on the end ina circle. If
you suddenly let go, the rope and weight will
take a straight path. Likewise if you spin very
fast on a merry-go-round and let an object
go, it will take a straight path and nota curved

Me. SClENCE!

path like the rider. These are examples of the
sideways vector component. If a person is
rapidly spinning on a merry-go-round and he
throws a ball toward the center, it would have
2 directional forces acting on it: 1) the straight
out force (throwing it to the center) and 2)
the sideways force caused by the spinning
(discussed above). Therefore the ball would
not pass through the center but would pass
somewhere between the center point and the
side of the merry-go-round.

A movie called “Coreolis effect in
daily life” shows an example of this situa-
tion. The URL is: http://
covis.atmos.uiuc.edu/guide/forces/html/
coriolis1.html . Please note that this movie
example introduces another complicating
factor; the element of friction when a ball is
rolled on the ground. If you throw the ball
very gently, it would land on the floor of the
merry-go-round and not come back to you.
In the movie the ball returns to you due to
the centrifugal force on the ball by the spin-
ning carousel.

Unauthorized Try-this-at-Home Experiments

Experiment 1: Flammable Fruit
EFFECT: A small explosion is produced
from an ordinary match and an orange
rind.

PROPS NEEDED: One (1) orange rind,
one (1) match

HOW YOU DO IT: Light the match by
striking the red tip on the side of the match

container. Do not forget to close the con-
tainer before striking! Once the match is
lit, hold the orange rind approximately
one (1) inch away from the lit match.
Squeeze the rind until it produces a fine
mist of mouth watering nectar. Presto! A
small explosion for friends and family to
enjoy.

COMMENTS: This experiment works
especially well if it is executed near:
household pets, silly string or chromium
dioxide.

Experiment 2: Punctured, Oozing Eye
EFFECT: Ramming a pencil into your
eye produces a suitably disgusting effect.
PROPS NEEDED: One (1) freshly
sharpened pencil, one (1) mini cream con-
tainer

HOW YOU DO IT: “Palm” the mini
cream container with the paper cover fac-

ig lotta’, of

ing towards your fingers. Bring your hand
up to your eye. Bring the other hand hold-
ing the pencil toward your face. For maxi-
mum effect make sure the eraser faces

away from your face. Slowly slide the
pencil tip between the fingers of the hand
covering your eye. [An important element
of this experiment that cannot be stressed

enough is the need to drive the sharp pen-
cil tip into the paper covering of the mini
cream container and not the soft, moist
cornea of your eye. While lancing your
eyeball with a pencil is an excellent ef-
fect, it has the added draw backs of caus-
ing permanent blindness, hurting a lot and
causing tremendous embarrassment when
friends and family realize it was supposed
to be a trick and you’re just an inept
goofbag.] As you lance the paper cover-
ing of the mini cream container, cream
will cascade forth. At this time a comment
such as “Whooee, this smarts”, or “I
haven’t been in this much pain since I
slammed my finger in the car door’, is in
order. An intelligent person might con-
sider the depth of the mini cream con-
tainer and not exceed this depth when
forcing the sharp, jagged, stinging lead of
the pencil through the mini cream con-
tainer top.

COMMENTS: This is not an experiment.

Experiment as
Coffeemate®
EFFECT: A blinding fireball is produced
when a spark is added to Coffeemate Non
Dairy Creamer®.

PROPS NEEDED: One (1) packet of
Coffeemate Non Dairy Creamer®, one (1)
match

HOW YOU DOIT: Tear open the small
packet of Coffeemate Non Dairy
Creamer®. Light the match by striking the
red tip on the side of the match container.
Do not forget to close the container be-
fore striking! Pour contents of packet over
flame. Voile - a blinding fireball.
COMMENTS: Gives new meaning to
“hot java’. It’s a great idea to get your
arm out of the way right after pouring the
Coffeemate Non Dairy Creamer®. Even
better idea is to be wearing a fire retard-

ant asbestos suit.

Association (BCSA)

The BCSA is a group of students connected
in one way or another with the biochemistry
program. Of course, no matter what program
you’re in, you’re welcome to join us. Some
of the fun things we do are camping trips dur-
ing the summer, ski trips, play soccer and
volleyball intramurals, host an annual indoor
soccer tournament and consume alcohol.
Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by alco-
hol dehydrogenase, and acetaldehyde is con-

Undergraduate Genetics
Association (UGA)

To sum up our club in a simple way is to say
“Home of the Gods” (joke). Although we are
a club for genetic oriented students, we be-
lieve in promoting an environment conduc-
tive to studying, relaxing, and socializing. We
hold many academic and social functions
throughout the school year to help you with
your marks (suck up) and to let you relax.
Events like paintball war games just seems to
make the tension leave the body. We also have
an extension library with an exam registry for
most genetics classes. Additionally, we have
anice lounge with comfortable couches, clas-
sic Atari““and Super NES“, TV (for Simpsons),
